I ha always worked during this time full time even though I wa sbringing up the children. My husband was a captain for British Airways but I never ever knew what he earned but knew he had a good pension. We had a villa abroad which he kept and I stayed in the house and owed him a lump sum when it was sold .He carried onpaying interest only morguage until my youngest daughter went to University. Then the afreement was I would pay him back which I ddid 4 years ago when I sold the house.I had always worked but in 2008 was made redundant.Imanaged yofind work and then moved to a new area where it has been increasing difficult to find a decent job and have had to claim job seekers allowance.
